"You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith." - MARY MANIN MORRISSEY.
Combined with the fear of change is the fear of the unknown. Starting anything new can be frightening.
Remember your first day of school? You may have been going to that school for the past few years, but starting a new school year always created anxiety until you settled into a routine.
One of my friends told me that he watched a TV show for years, contemplating whether he should get a real estate program. He had plenty of discussion with his wife about whether or not they should take the chance. Now remember, this isn't the fear of buying his first property but the fear of just getting the course. He was brought up in such a structured home that anything out of the ordinary - in this case, investing in real estate without using your own money - was fearful.
Eventually, he purchased the course, a few books and some advanced training. He is now on his 3rd property, has definitely increase his net worth, he has money coming in from the properties he bought, and his outlook on life has changed. I'll tell you more about him later in the book.
Doing anything new causes that same felling of anxiety. When I started with my online business, I was nervous and frightened. I didn't have anyone to guide me or any books to help me. I felt anxious and fearful. Fear is natural.
People who succeed face their fears and take action despite them. People who succeed have an undying p***ion to accomplish and achieve their dreams and goals. People who succeed believe in themselves, are highly focused, are driven, and use fear as motivator to find a way to achieve.
Now if you are saying, "Maybe I'm not that kind of person," I can respectfully tell you that you are wrong. We are all that person on the inside, but in many cases an unsatisfied life has beaten us down. Or we look for an opportunity for a better way for so long with poor results that we gave up. You have the ingredients to overcome anything, to embrace the unknown, and to accomplish your dreams - you just may need to wipe away those cobwebs and find the inner you that deserves to come back in view.
You can never eliminate fear, but you can use your fear and turn it into your strength. If your fear tells you that you might lose a lot of money, great! Take some extra time to thoroughly study the situation and do whatever you can to protect yourself. If your fear tells you that running an online business is too complicated or hard to understand, great! Use the examples of other people in this forum or elsewhere to build confidence. Any time your fear tells you that you can't do something, use that as motivation to learn more so that the reason behind your fear melts away. Your fear is doing nothing more than trying to protect you. Use it!
Your fear might be telling you that you can't make money online, but put your fear aside for a moment, do your homework, and work hard to succeed. Learn from other people, and listen to what they did wrong.
Your fear may come from a lack of resources, yet, remember that everything you need to know is already there for you. If there's anything you don't understand, ask questions from other people and keep searching for answers so you can keep moving forward. Don't let fear paralyze you. Let fear motivate you!
Preparation and knowledge can calm your fears and increase your confidence, so when it comes time to take action, you'll feel comfortable . Like any skill, the more you learn and take action, the easier it will get. Remember, knowledge without action is just good reading, but knowledge combined with action equals results.
